Once I figure out the heating situation, should I put their food and water inside the coop with them? Or does it stay in the run and they get it when they leave the coop in the morning?
I've read about them, and it seemed like there were some opinions that they weren't the best because they would heat the whole floor and not allow chicks a place to get away from the heat. Idk if they came in different sizes for this reason or not
I did put in 2 windows, one on each side of the coop. I can maybe fasten it to the outside of the coop so that it points inside the window and its not directly on them. Do you think that would be enough?
Oh, definitely will need the heat lamp still. I just feel bad for them being all "cooped" up inside the house (pun intended). We'll get down to the high 30s at night next week, with highs of 50s-60s. But the weather is improving for sure.
I'm debating if I should let my 3 week old chicks spend the night in their coop tonight with the heat lamp through the window or if it's still way too soon. They're getting so cramped inside the house 😢. It's a beautiful sunny 70 degrees today, with a low of 48 degrees and no rain/no heavy...
